H.R. 1887 — Lobbying Disclosure Improvement Act

This section adds to the required contents of lobbyist registrations under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 a statement disclosing whether the registrant is exempt under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 exemption in 22 U.S.C. 613(h) (i.e., for certain private, nonpolitical activities not directed or controlled by a foreign principal). (As background, the Lobbying Disclosure Act requires lobbyists to register with Congress and periodically report clients, issues lobbied, and related expenditures and contributions; the Foreign Agents Registration Act separately requires registration with the Department of Justice for agents representing foreign principals.)
